Natives of Umunna community, in the Afikpo South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, have lamented the devastating effects of the landslide that occurred in the area recently.
There was a reported case of landslide in the community on June 27, 2022, which led to the displacement of over 200 natives of the area.
According to the natives, normal and agrarian life in the community has been discomforting and irking since the incident took place.
Speaking to our correspondent, on Sunday, a teacher at Umunna Comprehensive Secondary School, Okoro Onu, noted that going to work every day after the incident has been costly.
He said, “I am a teacher serving at Umunna Comprehensive Secondary School. Since 27th June 2022, we have been finding it very difficult to come to school because those of us serving here live in Owutu community.
“We are finding it difficult to come up to Umunna because of the incident. Since that day we have been passing round through Amigbo to Nguzu and down to Umunna. It is costing us a lot to come to work.
“Before the incident, I used to spend #400 to and fro. But now, I spend up to Eight Hundred Naira daily to get to school. My prayer is that God should touch the government to come to our aid. The government should help us clear the way for ease our movement.”
